This temple contains in all one hundred and thirty pillars of which thirty-eight are beautifully carved."
Near Lunavasahi, there is an inscription of Kumbhāräna. It is carved at the foot of a Kirtistambha or pillar of victory and bears the date V. S. 1506 or A. D. 1449-50. It says that pilgrims to Lunavasahi and Vimalavasahi should not be taxed directly or indirectly.
Vastupala's temple on Giranara is situated to the south of Samprati Raja's temple. From an inscription of V. S. 1932 (A. D. 1875-6), it is clear that the temple was repaired by Narasi Keshavaji. This is a triple temple. The central one has two finely carved domes which are not wellpreserved. It is dedicated to Mallinatha, the nineteenth Tirthankara. The 'ranga-mandapa' or hall is 29 ft. broad and 53 ft. long. The 'garbhagriha' or ' gabharo' containing the images of Tirthankaras is 13' by 13.'
To the left of the central temple, there is a small temple containing three images of Parsvanatha and one of Chandraprabhu. The temple contains two inscriptions of V. S. 1485 and V. S. 1556 (or A. D. 1429 and 1500 ).
